THE GLORY OF LIFE / DIE HERRLICHKEIT DES LEBENS
Writer and Director. Starring Sabin Tambrea, Henriette Confurius and Manuel Rubey
DOP and Co-Director: Judith Kaufmann. German-Austrian Co-Production / 98 min, 2024
In the summer of 1923, Dora Diamant and Franz Kafka meet by chance on the Baltic Sea beach. He is a man of the world, she is from the Deep East. He can write, she is a free spirit, laughs and dances. She has both feet firmly planted on the ground while he is always hovering slightly above it. He cannot escape his father’s dominance, but in the here and now the two are full of joy and lightness. They are granted a single year until Franz Kafka dies far too early. But even if Kafka’s health deteriorates more and more, the year they spend together allows the two of them to feel THE GLORY OF LIFE.

The Real World of Peter Gabriel (Documentary)
Written and directed by Georg Maas and Dieter Zeppenfeld
DOP: Markus Belde. Produced by Zinnober Film, 52 min, 2009.
In the beginning of the 80s, rock star Peter Gabriel composed his first political song „Biko“. The film tells the story of the journey Peter Gabriel took from this starting point to his large political and social engagement. Gabriel’s work combines philosphy, technology and art. He tries to dissolve the line between „us and them“ and to develop a positive vision of „globalisation“.

The film introduces Berlin based underground artist Klaus Beyer in his first leading part in a film that has not been directed by himself.
